title: [100 years ago Robert Koch described the tuberculosis germ].
abstract: The beginning of the etiologic epoch in medicine is in general equated with the discoveries of Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch. The 24th march 1982 is the 100th anniversary of that memorable day on which Robert Koch announced his discovery of the tubercle bacillus. We remember this even in connection with the discussions on infectiosity and additional factors led before and after. The absence of specific possibilities of treatment and the failure of the tuberculin therapy induces regional and supraregional activities, which evoke the establishment of an organized care. At the instance of the situation of the changing of the century the correlation of endogenic and exogenic condition is explained, which was recognized also by Robert Koch.
